Chillin’ at DVWR

This Cooper’s Hawk nestling is growing in size and appetite!

While enjoying the warmth of the heat lamp, this turkey vulture will spend the winter recovering at Dayton Valley Wildlife Reststop.

Many thanks to Girl Scout Troop 317!  The hard-working troop designed, raised money for materials, built & set-up a new flight pen. Troop Leaders Lesli Spears and Robin Fowler with Scouts Emma, Neva, Lauren, Page, Hailey, Soleil, Raechel, Lexi, Sophia and Katrina did a remarkable job and the first resident settled right in.

Red-shouldered hawks are becoming more common in our area.  

The orphaned pronghorn fawn that came in early summer was released in good habitat. .
